A Tax Indemnity Agreement is a contract between two or more parties which provides protection against losses incurred due to taxes. It is typically used in mergers and acquisitions, where one party (the indemnity) agrees to indemnify the other party (the indemnity) against any tax liabilities resulting from a transaction between them. The indemnity is usually the seller, while the indemnity is usually the buyer. The indemnity agrees to indemnify the indemnity for up to a certain amount or percentage of the transaction value, depending on the terms of the agreement. There are two main types of Tax Indemnity Agreements. The first is a transaction indemnity, where the indemnity agrees to pay any taxes that arise from the transaction. The second is a tax-exempt indemnity, where the indemnity agrees to pay for any taxes that are due to the tax authority due to the transaction, but which the indemnity is exempt from.
